Getting the GIST: A Computational Theory of Sentence Understanding,

Abstract

This paper shows the computation of English sentences in different task domains--the robot world, a children's story, and the front-end of information retrieval. The GIST (Grammar Instructed Structure) analyzes these sentences, using a grammar which provides a partial interpretation of sentences, and some guidelines towards a more complete understanding.
